Exciting Day!!!

After school today I went to my old Junior High to see my other teachers. I had to walk home, which isn't really that far. So, I was walking along, and all of a sudden a Black Eclipse came careening down the road, followed by a silver Crossfire. The driver of the black Eclipse, who I couldn't see, was shooting at the other driver. Gun shots rang out and the tires to the Crossfire were blow out, and the car flipped several times, then landed on the side.
Part of the car was on fire, I ran over to see if the driver was alright, and the black car stopped further up on the road. A man crawled out coughing.
"Are you okay?" I asked
"Yeah," he coughed, "Is he still there?"
"You mean that black car? Why is trying to shoot you? What's going on?"
"No time for questions." He said. "Here. Take this." He put a small SanDisk USB Port into my hand with a note that had a address.
I look at him, not sure of what to do, "How do I know if your the good guy?"
"Trust me," he said, "If I was the bad guy, you'd be dead right now."
"That doesn't help me, 'cause I don't trust you."
The man had no time to answer my question, because an burst of gunfire came out from the car and shattered what was left of the windshield. The man grabbed me and thew me to ground to protect me from another volley of bullets.
"Would a good guy do that?" He asked. I thought through all the movies and books I had watched and read and concluded that usually, when the bad guy is cornered like this they ask the other guy to come out, instead of shoot.
"I guess not." I answered
"Right. Now this very important. Just walk out and go to this address, but act calmly and casually."
"Won't he shoot at me?" I wondered.
"Not unless he knows you have this, which you won't let happen will you?"
"No."
"Good, when I say I go, go."
I nodded in understanding. The man looked up over the car. Then dodged several bullets flew above his head, then stopped.
"Go! Go!" He yelled waving for me to go.
I came out behind the car, with the disk in my hidden in my hand. (I didn't find time to put it my pocket) Another man was sitting the Eclipse, window rolled down, and a gun poking out. He waved friendly to me, I waved back to not draw attention. Then it happened, I was holding so tightly to the disk, I decided to release my grip because it was cramps, and the disk dropped to the road. Unfortunately, the other man saw. He pointed the gun to me and I heard the shot being fired. I stood there, awaiting the bullet, but I didn't feel it. Instead I saw a bullet ricochet off the black car's window and the man duck inside. That's when I saw my chance.
I picked up the USB port and ran. All was good until I heard a car start. Behind he was coming, I tried to run faster, but I couldn't out run a car. He can screeching by me rolled down he window, gun aimed. He fired, I ducked. I stood up as fast as I could and continued running, this time the car was in front of me.
He tried to shot me again, this time, I dove onto the back of the car. I held on for dear life, as the driver swerved trying to throw me off. I tried to think of ideas, and then I got it. I got a piece of paper from my pocket that had the address on it. I also got out my lighter that I usually carried with me, for no particular reason other than it's cool, and in case, useful. I rolled up the piece of paper. Then while still trying to holding on, I open the lid to the gas, and then unscrewed the lid to the gas tank. I stuck the rolled up paper in it, light it fire, which was difficult on a moving car, I had to stop several times because when the driver took a few shots at me, but I eventually got it. After I lit the paper I jumped off, into a yard, the yard that contained the same address as the one on the paper I received. Before I went to the door, I looked down the road as the car blew up and made a deafening explosion.
After I delivered the disk, I came outside and the man that gave me my mission shook my hand and said, "Well done."
"You saw that?" I replied, thinking he had been back at his car the whole.
"Of course. I must admit I was surprised."
"Thanks... oh and thanks also for... you know when I dropped the disk... he could have shot me."
"That's what I do." He said. There was an awkward pause and I said, "Well I'd better go." As I turned around he said "I might have a job for you." And If I told you the rest I'd have to shoot you."


Well.... you probably figured out, that wasn't true.... as much as it would be cool and awesome, it didn't happen. (And least I won't tell you if you did or didn't)..... but would you rather have that kind of made-up story or the boring, sad truth?

It looks like you got the storytelling gene from dad...

This was a fun read...and, actually, I wasn't got for the first 2 paragraphs, but mostly because I decided that I would've already heard if anything remotely interesting happened..
